It’s hard not to love Denver. With 300 days of sunshine, six sports teams and postcard views of the Rocky Mountains, it’s one of America’s most livable cities. That’s why we’re moving in, with our newest Saatva Viewing Room in the upscale Cherry Creek neighborhood.
Named after the river it sits along, Coloradans come to this upscale enclave for a shopping spree. More than 300 shops, 70 restaurants, and five spas make up the Cherry Creek neighborhood, and we can’t wait to be one of them. Here are a few of the best things to do in and around this Denver neighborhood.

Where to eat and drink
Alteño
Meaning “highlander,” this Mexican-inspired restaurant is an ode to the Jalisco highlands and the chef’s beloved father. Its recipes and culinary traditions have been passed down through the generations. Diners can expect a cevicheria-style raw bar and top-notch meats cooked in a hearth. Given its Michelin-recommended status, it’s one of Cherry Creek’s must-dine destinations.
Alteño: 249 Clayton St
Barolo Grill
Italian food done right, Barolo Grill has been a Denver institution since 1992. Specializing in northern Italian food, indulgent ingredients like truffles, aged prosciutto, and house-made pastas make it the perfect special occasion outing. Plus, the staff travels to Italy every year for inspiration, so they’re as knowledgeable as it gets.
Barolo Grill: 3030 E 6th Ave
Hillstone
This cozy, modern American restaurant is an alpine dream. It’s got classic comfort food dishes like spinach and artichoke dip, deviled eggs, and a signature cheeseburger. The team has paired this with a sushi menu filled with creative rolls. If they haven’t sold out, try the French dip with fresh horseradish.
Hillstone: 303 Josephine St
Fortune Wok to Table
This unassuming Chinese restaurant makes the best dumplings in town. Handmade each day, the selection includes pork, beef, veggie, and best of all, soup dumplings. Other items include Shanghainese noodles and fried rice. On its second floor, an exclusive chef’s table one night a week is the hottest table in town.
Fortune Wok to Table: 2817 E 3rd Ave
Cherry Cricket
Denver is famous for its craft beer scene, and the rotating wall of draught beer alone is worth a visit. Combine that with award-winning burgers, and this old-school-style dive bar is a casual go-to. Start with their crispy mac ‘n cheese balls served with ranch dressing.
Cherry Cricket: 2641 E 2nd Ave
